Your Concise New York Art Guide for Fall
“Wave Hill, which has in the last few years become a more prominent venue for the exhibition of contemporary art and performance, has mounted a new show that integrates that ambition with the existing context of its flourishing gardens. Figuring the Floral includes many well known artists of color who take the metaphor of a flower — that compelling agent of the natural world that buds, blooms, pollinates, and decays— and runs with it. These artists reach beyond the typical associations made to flora to consider ideas of ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, aging, and other varied facets of identity and the self.”
